If you’re serious about protecting your business from cyber-attacks, my advice is to seek out the finest, most experienced minds in cyber security and ask their advice. One way to do that: get yourself invited to a Cyber Security Summit. Full disclosure: Logical Operations is a partner with Cyber Security Summit as part of our mission to promote cyber security awareness and education.

The Cyber Security Summit is a forum for discussing and sharing the latest in cyber security with renowned experts from around the globe. In presentations, interactive panels, and roundtable discussions, some of the world’s top security experts spend a day sharing their priceless knowledge with senior-level executives who need it.

There are nine Cyber Security Summits scheduled for this year, in nine of the country’s principal business destinations. The chances are good you can find one near you. The inaugural summit for 2017 will be in Denver on March 1 at the Hyatt Regency Denver. The Security Briefing at this event will be led by Chad Alvarado, the Supervisory Special Agent of Cyber Task Force for The FBI Denver Division.

This isn’t one of those sweaty, multi-day trade shows where you have to struggle with thousands of other attendees to sift nuggets of actionable information from a sea of mostly irrelevant details. Each Summit is by iinvitation only, and all attendees are pre-screened and approved in advance. Attendance is limited to approximately 300 senior-level executives, which means an intimate environment set within a luxury venue.

The Cyber Security Summit team can connect directly with selected senior-level executives from your company.

The event also features demonstrations from dozens of cutting-edge solution providers to combat the latest threats. It’s a full day, but it’s only one, so it minimizes the commitment of time and travel (and therefore money) made by your company when it sends a senior-level executive.

The Denver Summit features panel discussions on compliance, the legal repercussions of getting hacked, how to devise a strategic incident response plan, the emerging risks associated with IoT and big data, and how to protect against insider threats.
